ATEAM has announced a partnership with legendary artist H.R. Giger – whom you might know from a little sci-fi film called Alien – to bring exclusive characters to the mobile RPG Dark Summoner. The first of three new creatures arrived on August 17th, with a new one appearing each week after that. Known as “The Divinities” these bosses will pop up one at a time during weekend events. They're from the mind of H.R. Giger so they're not going to be pushovers. Players must come prepared if they expect to win any rewards from defeating these creatures. Some lucky players will even be able to summon the special bosses and acquire them to use in their formations.

Dark Summoner is a popular fantasy adventure game available on the iOS and Android platforms. It currently has over 7 million downloads worldwide. Within the game, players assemble and command a custom army of monsters to take on missions and defeat bosses. When putting their armies together, players must summon monsters, raise them into more powerful creatures, and find the strongest combinations between them in order to defeat their enemies. Dark Summoner features a mix of player-versus-player battles and epic Raid challenges that allow each person to choose how they interact with their fellow Summoners. The game currently features over 1,500 monsters with original artwork created specifically for Dark Summoner.
